Hi, I'm Mike, thank you very much for choosing this video today. I'm in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina visiting an East Coast Honda and reviewing a

2021

Honda CRV in the ex L trim level. This vehicle has Bridgestone 235 60 tires wrapped around 18-inch alloy wheels with a gloss gray finish, it also has four-wheel disc brakes with vented rotors in the front and solid rotors in the rear. The name of this color is Platinum White Pearl and the sun is shining right now, so I hope you can get an idea of ​​what the color

look

s like. You can see it's not a platform, it's not just a normal white color, it's a pearl coating, so you can see some flakes there, hopefully, and just a nice sheen.

You can see little. specks of different colors in the white paint so

look

ing here on the front you can see it has some gloss black and chrome here at the top the radar adapter cruise control is right here matte black surfaces here at the bottom , I'm glad that this is a white vehicle so you can see all the features a little better so you can make them stand out a little better, so there's a touch of metallic here and silver, I guess you could say, and matte black now. headlights. they are halogen for your low and high beams your low beams are on a projector your high beams on a reflector you also have LED fog lights and look at the profile here, that matte black surface continues from the front to the end around each wheel along the length from the base of the vehicle as well and the doors go all the way to the bottom, so it covers the sill area keeping it somewhat clean.

The door handles and top of the side mirror are body color. The pillars. They are a matte black type that solidifies the glass. Here you have privacy glass here on the back and all the glass is surrounded by a chrome strip, so there is a chrome strip around it. This is what the key looks like and it is a proximity key system. and it is designed so that you can simply put this in your pocket and use the vehicle 100%. It is now a complete proximity key system. You've got some handy buttons here for locking and unlocking the remote start, the ability to open the power tailgate, and panic. button we're going to press it and the weight of the key is a little bit heavy because of this metal part here at the end where there's also a physical key inside, other than that it's pretty light, the rest of the key is light and it's nice, soft and contoured, easy to hold in your hand, packs into your pocket and keeps with you whenever it's in your pocket in a bag, as long as it's very close to the outside of the driver or passenger side . door, you can lock the doors by pushing them, actually just place your finger on the sensor indicated by these little lines right here, press that to lock the door, to unlock it just put your hand behind the handle, it has a sensor back here and it will tell you allows access to the vehicle now this is only if you have the key on the outside of the door you also have a physical location for the key here on the driver's side only now I mentioned the door goes all the way to the bottom of the vehicle so All the way down here and, um, there's also a seal on the door, so when you close the door it prevents dirt from getting into that threshold area and hopefully keeps your clothes clean when you get in and out of the vehicle.

Alright, here's the inside of the passenger side door and look, it's got some nice wood grain there and it's a tan color with black and metallic accents. Here the soft touch surfaces are here on the top right and around your arm, of course. and the bottom is a hard feel, this is closed, you can use it as a pocket and then you have pockets on the bottom as well as a water holder and a bunch of water bottle holders that extend up here quite a bit, so I don't know if you can see this, um, you may not know, but it goes deep, it goes deep like this and if you were to put things in there, you can lose them if you're not careful, so no. sure why it comes all the way back here with no access to it, uh, it goes, I don't know, a good eight or four inches back, okay, so there's a threshold area and there's a power passenger seat, but it's not like that. it goes up and down and it just slides back and forth and then tilts here these are leather upholstered seats and you can see it's got the perforations here in the center and then smooth leather here on the outside all right there's the floor, lots of room, very little Narrowing here there is just a lot of open space, this is a tough touch so keep that in mind when it comes to legroom there is plenty of room but once you start bumping into surfaces , there will be a hard plastic glove with lock. compartment and a smooth plastic inside.

This is a hard touch here, a soft touch here and here and here so you can see how wide the front door is so you can see it's very wide this whole area right here and the movement of the door is how wide it is. also and the rear door isn't as wide as far as the opening is concerned, but the door swing is a little bit wider and that's actually quite impressive because even though the door opening is smaller, you still have that. the door doesn't get in your way so having the door swing out like that is fantastic, so the rear door is similar in style to the front and the hard touch surfaces, although they are soft here and here, so there's more of a hard feel, but it looks like As far as styling goes, it's the same as the front and this doesn't go as far back as the front.

There's a pocket here on the back of the front seat, here on the passenger side, but not on the driver's side, so there are some vents back here. and two USB charging ports, kind of a medium-sized hump in the center, lots of legroom back here, so the back seat is basically a bench and it has armrests and cupholders here in the center, you can lift them up and you can use the center part, there are three seat belts, seat belts back here, there is also a locking system for the car seats and they are like here, you can feel that here is a space where you can latch onto them, so again gives him a place. to get to it, but there's no cover or anything so it's good to take a look at the back of the vehicle, there's a body color antenna here on top and then the third brake light is on the back top of the glass on that little spoiler there, there's a rear wiper and some chrome, now the taillights are mostly LEDs for the turn signal and taillights, but there's a standard bulb for the reverse light, the rearview camera is quite offset, so you can see that it is a kind of In addition to looking instead of being in the middle of the vehicle, it is also quite noticeable here, especially in the white color, the exhaust is quite well hidden, so when you open the power tailgate, of course, you can use the key or we can press a button and The button is right below here, okay, so this is the screen that you can pull out, on the one hand, it slides out rearward, but you can take it out completely when you need to, if you have all the seats occupied with passengers. this is your cargo space, which is a pretty good amount, there's a light on both sides, which is nice, you see there's a light there, a little more storage space here on the left side, here on the side Right there is a light and a little more. there's more there and you see these little latches here that are for lowering these seats, we'll get to that in just a minute here's this floor and you can raise and lower this cargo floor, but let me lift it up so you can see the spare. tires and tools there's also quite a bit of insulation here, but if we want to lower the cargo floor, just pull it and then push it like this and that's a lower floor or we can put things under it if we want now when we lower this floor.

If this floor doesn't match when we fold the seats it is a little lower than the other side so this area will be a little higher so if you need a flat floor this won't do it so when you fold these seats down, we can just pull this lever and we can fold down one or the other, you'll see it goes down, or both, so we can add cargo space and at the same time maintain passenger space, or we can fold both down and have a really wide open space and when the seats go down the bottom goes down too, that way it gives you as low as possible to the cargo floor, lowering the power tailgate, just press this button and it comes to the right. down to start it, as long as we have the key inside the vehicle, we simply put our foot on the brake, hold it and press this button here is the floor in front of the driver's seat, now the mats are not in place, but when They put them in place, there are actually two places where they clip on and hold it in place so that that way it doesn't slide on you, that's where the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal are.

Good footrest here on the left side that is protected. with a hard plastic, so let's take a look under the hood to lift it up. There's a latch a little left of center, so reach right here, move it to the right, and lift it up. You will see that the latch is now a little tight. A little weight for the hood, but not too bad, requires a stand to hold it up. The accessory is there and you pick it up and it goes right where the arrow is pointing. There is insulation on the underside of the hood.

There is also a seal around it. The edges are also on the back and this helps with airflow but also noise. There's an insulated firewall insulated battery that's easy to access, so the intake is in the back and the exhaust is here in the front. space at the rear of the engine, this vehicle is powered by a 1.5-liter direct-injection turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 190 horsepower and is mated to a continuously variable CVT transmission. Now, this particular vehicle has all-wheel drive, the Blind Spot and Rear Cross Traffic Warning System indicator is here on the side mirrors. Little do you see that little car that lights up when there is a vehicle in your blind spot, so the inside of the driver's side doors is the same as the passenger side, except it has a few more buttons, so there are two settings preset for your power seat right here, so there are the power windows, the power door locks and the side mirrors adjust here, just choose one side, the two front power windows are automatic, the rest, the two rear ones, you will have you hold them to raise and lower the driver side seat has a power seat just like the passenger side except it has a lot more features it has the ability to raise and lower tilt the seat its basically like a dentist chair and then you have the tilt back and it has a four-way lumbar adjustment so they always have to be in the driver's seat, they always have to be above the passenger seat and this quadruples, quadruples, I guess you could say to the left of the column steering there's a little storage cubby right here put some gear in or whatever and then you'll have some buttons the traction control off button the default will be the same as the forward collision warning you can turn it off here , it has the ability to lift the power tailgate, that's that button. here and the road departure mitigation system, you can disable that feature here or turn it on and off, it has a little indicator light, the steering column is a tilt and telescoping steering column and you lock it in place with this lever here yourself, just push it back, that's all. the way back here, so you have to locate it.

I'm sitting in the driver's seat checking it out and I have the seat all the way back and all the way down and I'm six feet tall just to give you an idea. what the legroom looks like, good knee room and basically you would have it almost all the way back. I would probably have to raise it a little more, but this is a pretty good seating position for me. I could totally have it. back or a little further forward you have a leather wrapped steering wheel and it has a pretty good thickness and a little bit of flexibility in your hand so it's not like a super hard steering wheel, it feels quite comfortable and has enough grip so of course here on on the right side there are some buttons so this is your cruise control so you have this main button right here that turns everything on including your cruise control and also the safety features so this is a regular cruise control, normal cruise control is set to resume and cancel correctly. you have this little button here on the right side for your adaptive cruise control and you can setthe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you and will maintain a set distance and reduce your speed when necessary.

It also has Lane Keep Assist, so this will really help you know, turn the steering wheel a little bit to stay in your lane, it won't make you swerve or anything, it'll just give you a little less fatigue while driving here on the left side. there's a volume for your radio and then your bluetooth so you can answer, hang up and then voice recognition is here, go in and these arrows correspond to a screen between the gauges, we'll get to that in just a minute, the wiper controls They are here on. on the right side and the turn signals here on the left side you also have headlight control so you have the parking light off automatically and then the headlights with fog lights are controlled here so here are your gauges .

Now there are physical gauges, one on each side, so your fuel gauge is here on the right side and your engine coolant temperature is there on the left, but right there in the center is a screen that shows your digital speedometer. at the top your tachometer your rpm and some other information there in the center also have a clock, your odometer, outside temperature, that kind of thing, so you remember these buttons right here, so you have the answer, the arrows too on these pagesSo when we go to the screen, I'm going to press the pages button and you'll see these icons appear so I can choose a theme, so the first one here is fuel economy.

We can press Enter and get information about that. Next is driver attention, if it just lets you know how well you're driving according to the car, maybe it's time to take a break, it might show up if you're swerving on the road or something. what you're doing as far as your input and the next is your overall transmission system that lets you know how much power is going to each wheel, it's an automatic system, the next is the oil life, the next is your radio, so that once you have this up you can change to the channels channels and things like that.

I don't have a paired phone, but this will show up as your caller ID information. Things like that. The next one you can change to kilometers per hour if necessary, so it's something like this. quick summary, this is pretty simple, it has additional information that you can select for the bottom, but basically a speedometer, digital tachometer and your, you know, odometer and outside temperature clock, that kind of thing, so we have a four . The flashing lights are here and then you have a touch screen with an actual volume knob and it has some soft touch buttons here at the end and right here, so we have the home button, we can press it and it shows this, we can select what we want.

I want it to be like a cell phone where you have these little icons um in this particular case, so here we have the audio phone back button so you can see the audio phone information settings. There's a little bit more information on the screen, but you can quickly go to certain things here, so let's go to the audio so you can see what it looks like, you have the album art here on the satellite radio and you have presets there at the bottom . You can change your audio source here so that you have satellite radio am fm uh usb. bluetooth ipod pandora and also apple carplay android auto uh connectivity, okay, come home uh, once you pair your phone, you have information there as far as your phone book, recent calls, that type of information, so this appears about your vehicle, basically, trip computer voice. information clock so let's go to um let's go back here let's go here and go to the clock with the wallpaper so that's pretty cool you can change the wallpaper and I like the way you can focus on the time and the date if you need different types of clock, you can have an analog clock if you want, I will choose it okay, so it's a pretty good smartphone connection, that's your Apple Carplay and Android auto setup, since you can set the vehicle here, you also see your climate control here. in the corners and a digital clock just sits there in the corner if you don't have the full size clock on top, okay, down here is the climate control so you notice you have the temperatures there at the top so you have the temperatures, but down here you have your temperature settings, so you have a dial here on the left side and on the right side for your temperature settings.

You have an electronic parking brake here, so to activate it, lift it up to disengage it, press and hold the brake and push it down and it engages the rear wheels. It also has a brake hold feature that will hold the brakes for you while you when you come to a complete stop, say at a stop sign or traffic light or traffic or something like that, it will just hold the brakes until you press the accelerator here on the right side , this is its auto start and stop function, it can stop at idle, you can turn off this feature if you don't want the engine to shut down when you come to a complete stop and then have an eco or economy mode, this will emphasize fuel economy and reduce your performance a little bit, so here's the shifter and it's a pretty good size, it doesn't seem to get in the way too much, I mean, there's no pockets or anything to reach for, so it's pretty good when we put it in reverse, the backup camera shows up here we have different views so it's a more linear top down view and then a super wide view okay there's neutral sport driving and then it goes down so you keep going down there's also a low range in case If you need engine braking, you can use it, so continue down. we have USB inputs here and here is a USB, this is where your Apple Carplay and Android Auto would need to be connected and then you have a storage pocket, cup holders, these have little articulated arms and here there is also a little storage compartment and a nice tray that pulls out of the way so you can put things in here, slide it back and put more things in here, it goes in so many ways, there's also a 12 volt power supply, here's the armrest. and it's very soft, it bottoms out, you have to push it really hard for it to bottom out, but it's nice and smooth and it slides forward, it slides back and then it lifts up, so this lifts up and then it accesses the same pocket as we are. talking about here so you can put things in here if you want so this slides back and then you can lift it up like this that way you can access this whole compartment here so the rear view mirror is an auto dimming rear view mirror and uh so it's not actually auto dimming right now, sometimes it lets me see if I can turn it with my finger on the light sensor, sometimes I can get it to turn on, but anyway, that's the auto dimming rear view mirror, Up here you have some faucet lights.

For all the interior lights, you can turn them all on and off if you place them in a central position, they turn on with the door. There is a little bit of ambient light right here when the headlights are on at night to give you some illumination. on the inside, in the center, this is for your sunroof, we'll get to that in a minute and here is a Home Link garage door opener control, it has a place to put some curtains, it has a foam insert, it lifts and drops it. there and there is a small conversation mirror now the visors are a fabric material like the headliner and they have a mirror and a light and that's it, there is no clip or anything, it would be nice if they were trimmed, they extend, although it would be good to have a little clip to put your log in or whatever, okay, so the sunroof, so here's the sunroof.

It actually has a screen that covers 100% of the light when you need it, but you can tilt it up, tilt it down or slide it right, let's look at the visibility. in the back it's pretty good, I mean, it has pillars in the back, of course, and I folded one seat down so you get an idea of ​​what it's about as far as how much the headrests get in the way, uh, they line up with the pillars anyway, but there is a lot of glass, there are small windows behind the rear door, so it helps, so I have seen worse, no, it's not bad at all, actually of course it has the point detection system blind, rear cross traffic alert and the camera system and all that to help you anyway, thanks for watching, thanks to Honda of the East Coast here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and I'll see you next time, so
